You know, there have been many, many great male skaters with charisma, power, etc, the qualities that the men's discipline seeks for, but Robin Cousins was the one that made me realize that men's discipline can be soooo beautiful and elegant.

"Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned / Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned."
From Marky Mark and Calvin Klein underwear poster boy to savvy, respected Hollywood actor-producer
I think Wahlberg learned a great deal while filming one of his early roles, Renaissance Man, with Danny DeVito (worth checking out if you haven't seen it). Wahlberg is always engaging to watch in whatever he does. Most recently, I loved seeing him in The Italian Job, which I hadn't seen when it first debuted in theaters. I also give a shout out to his performances in Boogie Nights and Contraband. And, I haven't seen The Yards, but I'll have to put it on my list.
Of the films listed in #25, I think Wahlberg's ensemble work in Three Kings and Four Brothers was very good. He was also very good in The Perfect Storm, The Departed and Lovely Bones. If I had to pick a favorite, I'd say: The Italian Job -- it was a cool movie. His break-out film was Boogie Nights. Some of Wahlberg's coolest work has been as a producer, starting with Entourage. He's got quite a few television movie projects in the works as a producer ... successful guy.
Most devastating Hollywood love triangle (note I said "devastating, not notorious"). There's been so many, but these are the ones that come immediately to mind. What happens in Hollywood happens to ordinary people too on a not-so public scale of course.

As to #26, I think Aniston/Pitt/Jolie and Reynolds/Fisher/Taylor are the most notorious H'ywood love triangles, but the most devastating have got to be those in which one person died as a direct or indirect result, and that includes:
Walker/ Jones/ Selznick as well as Wagner/ Wood/ Walken. Both Robert Walker and Natalie Wood died prematurely, albeit accidental deaths. The Walker/ Jones/ Selznick triangle was particularly devastating for Walker since Selznick was such a powerful film mogul. Interesting to view the Selznick-produced 1944 film, Since You Went Away, in which Walker and Jones emote in a heartbreaking art resembles life scene. It's sad but worth reading, Starcrossed: The Story of Robert Walker and Jennifer Jones. Also devastating was the Bertrand/ Voight/ Pickren triangle since it reportedly led to Bertrand keeping her baby daughter Angelina isolated from maternal contact and normal social interaction for many months because little Angie looked too heartbreakingly similar to her Dad, Jon Voight. Angelina of course grew up to become involved in another triangle, but I wouldn't call that one "devastating" since all parties involved seem to have survived and thrived.
Also of course Diana/ Charles/ Camilla, both devastating and notorious.
